In one clip, the nepo kid, 19, and his bandmates can be seen sitting in the back of a truck as he sings his heart out while they play the guitar and the drums.
He is proving that music in his genes as his dad is the lead singer of one of the world's biggest rock bands with 160 million records sold across the globe.
Meanwhile, his mum is a huge Hollywood actress and has won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy.
His parents tied the knot back in 2003 but after thirteen years of marriage, they decided to call it quits and got divorced in 2016.
That's right, it's Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow and it looks like their son Moses Martin is a chip off the old block as he's aiming for stardom like his famous folks.
Chris, 48, formed Coldplay with Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion when he was at University College London.
The band, who recently issued a kiss cam warning, signed with record label Parlophone in 1999 and found global fame with their album Parachutes.
The foursome are the most successful group of the 21 st century and have won several accolades over their career so far.
They've won seven Grammy Awards and nine Brit Awards and American Songwriter have ranked Chris as one of the best male singers of this century.
On the other hand, Gwyneth, 52, started out her career in 1989 and has acted in several huge films including Emma, Great Expectations, Shallow Hal and the Iron Man series.
Coldplay kiss cam company Astronomer hires Chris Martin's ex Gwyneth Paltrow for tongue-in-cheek video
As well as her acting career, Gwyneth, who recently put on a cheeky display, is also a businesswoman after founding her company Goop which she is also the CEO of.
Chris and Gwyneth met for the first time in October 2002 backstage of a gig, just weeks after the death of her father, Bruce Paltrow.
The pair got married in December 2003 at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse and went on to welcome two children together, daughter Apple, 21 and Moses, who was born in 2006.
In March 2014, she announced that she and Chris had separated after ten years of marriage, describing the process as "conscious uncoupling".
She filed for divorce in April 2015 and it was finally finalised on July 14, 2016.
Moses turned 19 in April and his mum took the opportunity to commemorate her son with a heartfelt post on Instagram.
She told her nine million followers: 'Honestly, you are a dream come true. You are deeply kind and brilliant. You have an incredible intellect and you are so gifted, so talented.
'I listen to your music on repeat and miss you so much at college. And today more than ever. I love you my boy. Mama.'

‘Role model' father who fell to his death at Oasis gig in Wembley named and pictured
A man who fell to his death during Oasis's Saturday night gig at Wembley has been named as Lee Claydon. The father from Bournemouth fell from the upper tier balcony of the London stadium during a sell-out concert by the Gallagher brothers. Describing him as a 'loving family man' who loved fishing and outdoor activities and a 'role model' to his son, Lee's brother Aaron Claydon said: 'We will miss him so very much.' Aaron paid tribute to his brother on a GoFundMe page set up to support Lee's partner, Amanda, and their family. In the post, he said Lee was 'the man I have always looked up to' who 'would have done anything for any of us'. 'Our family has been turned upside down and are struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss,' Aaron wrote. 'Lee leaves behind his son, dad, partner, brothers, sisters, nephews and niece. 'Lee was a loving family man who was a role model to his son Harry and was loved so much by all his family. Lee would have done anything for any of us and he was taken from us far too soon and we will miss him so very much. 'Lee loved all outdoor activities, one of his favourite hobbies was fishing. He also loved music and his guitar. He also really enjoyed going to watch and support the boys and his nephew at their football games. 'Amanda and the boys have our full support at this very sad time, which is why we would love to be able to help them financially as well as emotionally. 'Please help us raise as much funds as we can to take one worry off Amanda and family right now as they are going through any family's worst nightmare.' Aaron also took to Facebook to pay tribute to his brother, writing: 'Still in shock and cannot believe I am writing this, but sadly over the weekend I lost by best mate the man I looked up to and the man I was lucky enough to call my brother Lee Claydon. 'This is gonna be a tough long journey and I have set up this GoFundMe page to help and support his loved ones. Please read and share. 'Until we meet again Rkid.' Lee's cousins, Shannon Gabrielle and Richard Norris, also paid tribute to Lee on the social media platform and shared the fundraiser. 'Absolutely shocked and gutted to hear about our cousin Lee Claydon,' Mr Norris wrote, describing the incident as 'heartbreaking beyond words'. 'Please consider supporting the fundraiser to help his loved ones during yet another incredibly difficult time,' he said. Shannon Gabrielle wrote Lee had died 'after no doubt having the time of his life at the Oasis concert this weekend'. She added his death had 'devastated the whole family' and said any donations would help support his 'closest knit' relatives. 'You just don't fathom you will go out for a night of amazing fun and not come home at the end of it,' she wrote. In a statement issued on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said: 'A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. 'He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. 'The stadium was busy and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage. 'If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101.' The Gallagher brothers also said they had been left 'shocked and saddened' by the news of the death following their show. On Sunday, a spokesperson for Wembley said: 'Last night, Wembley Stadium medics, the London Ambulance Service and the police attended to a concert-goer who was found with injuries consistent with a fall. 'Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers. 'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.'

Stephen Colbert: ‘What you thought you knew is just history'
Late-night hosts dig into Donald Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner and an unnerving story about radioactive wasps. 'You know something? No, you don't,' said Stephen Colbert on Monday's Late Show. 'Because things cannot be known any more. What you thought you knew is just history.' Especially history, as the Smithsonian removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit in the American history museum. 'Oh, now you care about what's in the American history museum!' Colbert joked to loud boos from the crowd. 'Where was that enthusiasm when dad worked so hard to plan the family trip to DC?' The museum reportedly removed a label noting both of Trump's impeachments – for bribing Ukraine, and for his role in the January 6 riots – after pressure from a White House content review. 'That kind of pressure explains why the Smithsonian exhibit of the 1960s now says that the Vietnam war was started by Jimmy Kimmel,' Colbert joked. The exhibit now says that 'only three presidents have seriously faced removal', instead of four. 'Come on! If you're going to completely make up presidential history, make it fun,' said Colbert. A new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics also confirmed that Trump has overseen the worst period of US job growth since the pandemic. So naturally, Trump responded by firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 'No, you fool! Now there's one less job,' Colbert joked. 'But it makes sense – he fires anyone who gives him bad news.' 'Here's the problem with this: having people in the government who know stuff is pretty important,' Colbert added. 'If Trump starts fudging the job numbers it could backfire, by eroding the trust of investors, companies and organizations.' In other Trump news, the White House unveiled plans for a new $200m ballroom, with gold chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows. 'Presidents are allowed to do a little renovation, of course. The Obamas added a vegetable garden. Truman and Nixon both added bowling lanes, and Jimmy Carter famously added a sex dungeon,' Colbert joked. But Trump has already paved over the historic rose garden with concrete, to make room for more seating. 'It reminds me of the poem,' Colbert laughed. 'Roses are red. Concrete is white. This place looks like shit now.' And on Late Night, Seth Meyers reacted to a report that a radioactive wasp nest was found at a site in South Carolina that once made nuclear bomb material. The nest reportedly had nuclear contamination levels 10 times higher than what is allowed by regulations. 'I guess my bug spray is going to continue to not work,' Meyers joked. 'I have so many questions,' he continued. 'What do you mean 10 times higher than what's allowed? I wasn't aware there was a certain level of radiation that's allowed for wasps. Is there like a sweet spot level that is low enough not to kill us all but high enough that if a kid on a field trip gets bitten he might turn into a superhero?' 'If I've spent too much time on this wasp story, it's because the rest of the news is shit and I'm stalling,' he added, moving to the next worse story: a product recall of High Noon vodka sodas mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz energy drinks. 'If you can't trust Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz, who can you trust?' Meyers quipped. 'Because, you know, I care about what I put in my body. So when I throw back a Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz, I want to know it has the stuff I care about. Like blue, and razz. Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz might be what made the wasps radioactive?' 'I think we should embrace this combo moving forward, because the two things I need living in these trying times are energy and to be a little bit drunk.' Meyers also touched on the news that Trump fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after his report found that US jobs growth had basically ground to a halt. 'Trump doesn't know how to solve a problem. He only knows how to cover it up,' Meyers said. 'And that's the hallmark of a corrupt autocracy. When the numbers are bad, just fire the people in charge of the numbers. If you're caught up in a scandal, dangle a pardon to get out of it.' But 'the problem is it's backfiring', he concluded. 'These stories won't go away. That's why Trump always looks like a guy who's been stung by a thousand radioactive wasps.'
